Chapter 375: Chapter 375

At this moment, Mrs. Jiang understood very well that the envelope must have been taken by Jiang Lirong, and recalling Jiang Lirong’s pale face earlier, it was because she felt guilty for what she had done.

Thinking about how this sister-in-law took things from her home without restraint, Mrs. Jiang became furious. It wasn’t that she coveted the courtyard house and the 800,000, but she was angry that Jiang Lirong treated her like a fool.

Father Jiang saw Mrs. Jiang run out hurriedly just now, and after a while, she came back with an unsuspecting face, then sat down in the bedroom without a word. Father Jiang raised his eyebrows and asked:

"What’s wrong? It’s the middle of the night and you’re not sleeping, stirring things up."

This immediately ignited Mrs. Jiang’s firecracker temper. Her face darkened, and she glared angrily at her husband, saying, "It’s all because of your dishonest, good sister! Even stealing things from our home! If she embezzles that old man’s courtyard house and those 800,000 in savings, don’t even think about using the family’s money to subsidize the old man, and don’t ask Ke Chu for it!"

Father Jiang was instantly dumbfounded. In his memory, his wife was always gentle and virtuous, and she had never spoken harshly, let alone cursed directly.

Seeing Mrs. Jiang containing her anger yet unable to suppress her fury, Father Jiang suddenly found his wife lively and adorable, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The moment Mrs. Jiang saw Father Jiang laughing at this time, her anger grew even stronger. She pointed at Father Jiang:

"You can still laugh!

Do you know why Ke Chu and Xiao Chu haven’t married yet? It’s all because of the messy issues in your family. I’ve put up with it for so many years, and that’s enough. Don’t you dare think about relying on Xiao Chu, otherwise... otherwise I’ll divorce you, and then I’ll just live with Ke Chu and Xiao Chu."

Hearing his wife even mention divorce, Father Jiang quickly pulled Mrs. Jiang over, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are both so old, why talk about divorce and make Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Ya laugh at their grandparents."

Mrs. Jiang harshly said, "Let go of me."

"Stop making a fuss, Xiaoxiao and the old lady are at home. What is it anyway, look how angry you are." Father Jiang forcefully pulled Mrs. Jiang into the covers and coaxed her to talk about the envelope issue.

After listening to her, Father Jiang frowned, somewhat headache-ridden from his sister’s actions and attitude. His gaze swept to his wife’s face, and he quickly comforted her:

"If she took them, then she took them. Tomorrow, let Ke Chu use the old man’s ID to notify the bank, report the passbook as lost, and do the same with the deed, just get them reissued."

Mrs. Jiang blinked her eyes, quickly asking, "Can it really be reported lost?"

If it really could be done that way, letting Jiang Lirong’s schemes be in vain, that would be great.

"Yes, this is no big deal." Father Jiang took the opportunity to educate his wife: "Don’t keep things bottled up and get upset by yourself."

Mrs. Jiang snorted, "It’s not like I’m not bothered. You can’t even compare; look at Xiao Chu, the old lady has pushed her several times, but Xiao Chu hasn’t been tempted at all. Lirong, on the other hand, did it well... fortunately, Xiao Chu doesn’t know about this, or she’d be even less willing to marry."

Father Jiang dismissively said, "Ke Chu will handle Xiao Chu and his matters. Don’t worry about it unnecessarily."

Now that Jiang Lirong’s issue seemed resolved, Mrs. Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her usual tenderness, sighing, "I don’t know when we can bring Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Ya back to Jiang Family."

Father Jiang thought for a moment, then tentatively asked his wife, "What do you think if we send Ke Chu to work out of town? That way, Xiao Chu and the kids could also go with him?"

He knew his family had too many conflicts, and his son’s delayed marriage was impacted by this. He could guess Old Sir Zhong’s attitude; simply, he didn’t want Wan Chu’er to marry into such troubled waters.

Now, one way to break this deadlock was to remove Ke Chu from here.

He received news that the upper echelons were considering establishing a Special Soldier unit in the Northwest Military Region, which for Ke Chu was an opportunity.

Jiang Kechu was also not young anymore, he should step down from his current position, after all, the tasks he’s currently undertaking are confidential and dangerous, more suitable for young men in their early twenties.

If he could seize this opportunity to form a Special Soldier unit, it would be a good change.

Then Wan Chu’er and the children could follow along, and Old Sir Zhong would also be relieved.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang immediately sat up, staring at her husband and asked, "Does Ke Chu have to move to another place? When and where will he go?"

"Don’t rush, don’t rush, it’s not decided yet. There is such a good opportunity for an external transfer. If Ke Chu goes, it will only benefit him and not harm him. It’s not decided yet," Father Jiang said calmly, "I’m just asking if you’re willing to let Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Ya go with Ke Chu to another place."

Mrs. Jiang’s thoughts became chaotic in an instant. Of course, she couldn’t bear to part with her two exquisitely adorable grandchildren. She wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.

Father Jiang patted her and said, "Alright, alright, stop thinking about it. Let’s sleep, this matter is still far off. Many people are eying this opportunity. Maybe Ke Chu is not even willing to go."

"Oh?" Mrs. Jiang said somewhat unwillingly, "Our Ke Chu is so outstanding..."

"Yes, yes, your son is the best. Now rest."

In the darkness, Mrs. Jiang couldn’t fall asleep for a long time, tossing and turning while thinking about her son. The next morning she got up with two dark circles under her eyes.

Seeing this, Father Jiang regretted, "If I knew earlier, I wouldn’t have told you. Let the nanny take more care of mom during the day, and you should find some time to catch up on sleep."

While preparing things for Jiang’s going to work, Mrs. Jiang instructed, "Don’t forget what you promised last night. Call Ke Chu as soon as you see him, and settle that matter quickly to avoid losing the stuff and having the old man make a fuss with you."

Yesterday after Jiang Lirong brought home some items, she thought it over and decided to withdraw the money first since it was her parents’ belonging, and she wanted to keep it safe for them.

She hurried to the bank, but it was just closing. She could only return home anxiously.

This morning, like usual, she went to work at her unit first, clocked in, then thought about going to the bank. However, just as she walked out of the unit’s main gate, she was called back by her superior.

The leader talked to her for an hour, and an hour later, Jiang Lirong walked out of the leader’s office, totally confused about the purpose of the conversation.

Not understanding, she decided not to think about it. It wasn’t good just coming out of the leader’s office to go deal with personal matters. Giving face to the leader in such situations, she, an old hand in officialdom, still knew how to handle.

Finally, half an hour before ending work, Jiang Lirong hurriedly grabbed her bag and headed out.

Thankfully, there was a bank near the unit.

"What did you say? The bankbook is reported lost?!" Jiang Lirong looked incredulously at the smiling teller inside the counter.

"Please check again, could there be a mistake?"

The teller patiently checked the bankbook Jiang Lirong handed over again.

"Hello, your bankbook has been reported lost, and this book is now invalid. The loss was reported two hours before this morning."
